What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar

Physics

<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:
34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: \frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

Please help on this one somebody?
coldgirl [10]

7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m. An electromagnetic wave of frecuency 4.0 x 10¹⁸Hz has a wavelength of 7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m.

Wavelength is the distance traveled by a periodic disturbance that propagates through a medium in a certain time interval. The wavelength, also known as the space period, is the inverse of the frequency. The wavelength is usually represented by the Greek letter λ.

λ = v/f. Where v is the speed of propagation of the wave, and "f" is the frequency.

An electromagnetic wave has a frecuency of 4.0 x 10 ¹⁸Hz and the speed of light is 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s. So:

λ = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)/(4.0 x 10¹⁸ Hz)

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m
